St. Eustatius, 1775.
The tiny Caribbean island has become the wealthiest trading port in the Americas almost overnight. To British intelligence, the sudden boom is no coincidence.
Captain Owen Spence is sent to uncover the truth. Operating under the cover of a trading business, he soon discovers a dangerous secret: weapons and gunpowder are flowing through the island in vast quantities, fueling the American rebellion against British rule. But smuggling is only one part of a far larger conspiracy.
Rumours swirl throughout the Caribbean that France is preparing to abandon secrecy and enter the conflict openly. If war comes, Owen is certain the first strike will be launched from the nearby French stronghold of Martinique.
As tensions rise and rival spies wage a hidden war across the islands, Owen finds himself racing against time to uncover where the attack will fall. Caught in a deadly web of espionage, deception, and shifting loyalties, Owen must risk everything to expose the truth before a secret war erupts into open conflict.
Part two of the gripping Caribbean adventure series about espionage, smuggling, and the looming war during the turbulent years of the American Revolution. Perfect for readers who enjoy fast-paced historical adventures, naval fiction, and political intrigue. A gripping Caribbean thriller packed with danger, suspense, and high-stakes action.
